Are the porn ads really necessary?

I don't know about you guys but I find the pictures of women exposing themselves annoying to say the least. I wouldn't mind but they're always there whenever I load a page and they could get me into trouble. They aren't full-on nudity but they're provocative and if my parents or my teacher at school were to see them I'd be dead.

Anyway, this is meant to be a community. Why don't be protect those innocent ones among us who are too young to know where babies come from?

Re: Are the porn ads really necessary?

hmmm. Maybe I have a virus or something. I always see those ads on here and on quickjump. Also an ad for a guitar effects processor I downloaded (even though I virus-checked it). Has something similar happened to anyone before? I'm away to scan my hard drive...*********************************************************************

Edit: Fixed! I installed a program for guitar effects processing which made some nasty changes to my "hosts" file so most pages I loaded had ads for "18+ is waiting for you" or just a random picture of people having sex on a car or ads for the guitar effects program. If something similar happens to anyone else, the link below shows you how to fix the "hosts" file.
